The Clan Leader looked around, killing intent practically tangible around him.
So someone had been plotting all along to kill his son in one fell swoop.
The Clan Leader's gaze fell on Gu Qingshan.
This time, his expression truly softened.
"I heard you saved the Young Master on the battlefield," he asked.
"No, actually, the Young Master saved me," Gu Qingshan replied.
The Clan Leader raised an eyebrow in surprise.
He thought of a possibility and gestured for Gu Qingshan to continue.
Gu Qingshan said solemnly, "The Young Master was brave and decisive on the battlefield, slaying countless enemies. Unfortunately, he was outnumbered and surrounded by wave after wave of monsters. In the end, everyone else fell in battle, leaving the Young Master to face the horde alone. He was caught off guard for a moment and knocked unconscious. I only managed to wake him up. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he immediately unleashed a teleportation technique and saved this subordinate's life."
The entire room fell silent.
The Elders looked at Gu Qingshan with peculiar expressions, then turned their gazes to Young Master Zhang.
Young Master Zhang froze.
But I only went to watch the show.
Was I really that brave?
But he quickly grasped the implications and unconsciously straightened his back, putting on an air of defiant arrogance.
The Flying Feather Clan Leader remained silent as he paced back and forth across the Council Hall. His face showed no emotion, but inwardly, he was delighted.
Once Gu Qingshan's account got out, the whole situation would take on a different character.
His son would go from being someone who'd been enticed onto the battlefield to a young, courageous warrior who'd led the charge.
That kind of reputation was very important for the heir to a clan.
